Reflection

We only have to switch the TV on to know there is plenty of evil in the world, but in today’s Gospel John  reminds us that if we know and believe in God we can stand up to that evil and that we will never be condemned. If we believe in God we will be saved. But how do we even begin to know God? Do we think of a God who created the world billions of years ago but has been pretty quiet since? Do we think of God who sent his Son to save us, but only know it because the story sits in a bible up on the bookshelf? Or do we think of a God who made us, a God who sent his Son to teach us, and a God who sent his Spirit to guide us through each day of our lives and through each generation that walks the earth?
